[/caption]Juan Williams, a news analyst at National Public Radio, has been fired after making comments about Muslims.
Juan Williams told Bill O'Reilly' on "The O'Reilly Factor", as courant.com wrote:
"But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations published a statement , which said:
"NPR should address the fact that one of its news analysts seems to believe that all airline passengers who are perceived to be Muslim can legitimately be viewed as security threats."
NPR agreed with the statement of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and stated that Juan Williams's view were not consistent with the view of NPR and subsequently fired Juan Williams.
Update:
A huge number of posts surfaced that justified Juan Williams's behavior and tried to explain why it was good and how Mr. Williams was allowed to say what he said. I sincerely hope that all of these yappers lose their job too.
It is plainly not OK, what some of these talking heads mumble in front of a camera. That at least one of those with a loose mouth got sacked is a good sign.
A little more tolerance for the religious views of others would help much more then speaking in broad generalities about Muslims or any other religion or religious group.
